Sean Hannity’s HUUUGE Birther Flip-Flop: Obama Vs. Cruz

Now that Donald Trump has gone birther on Ted Cruz, Sean Hannity suddenly thinks there’s “no issue” if Cruz was born in another country. But Hannity was one of Trump’s biggest birtherism boosters back when it was President Obama Trump (bogusly) accused of being born abroad.

Let’s take a walk down Hannity Memory Lane…

In 2011, Hannity repeatedly promoted Donald Trump’s utterly baseless attacks on President Obama’s birth certificate because, Trump suggested, it might show that Obama was not born in the U.S. There was never any doubt that Obama is an American citizen because his mother was one.

Senator and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, on the other hand, was actually born abroad. As PolitiFact explains, Cruz’s mother was American and his father was foreign, just like Obama's parents.

Yet last night, Hannity shrugged off concerns about Cruz’ eligibility. “I see no issue for Ted Cruz,” Hannity claimed. He also said that Cruz is “natural born” because he’s a citizen via his mother.

Washington Post says difference between Obama and Cruz is it was conspiracy theories about where Obama was born and he was accused of a fraudulent birth certificate. They said Cruz never denied being born in Canada so it isn’t apples to apples because there were no was accusations of him committing fraud. Now that means it must be apples to oranges and Trump is the orange one. He promoted this until he was singing “Don’t it make my Orange Balls Blue”.

One must remember Hannity has spent almost eight years vilifying and ridiculing President Obama. His life’s mission is filled with hatred for all things nonwhite, nonChristian and of course, liberal. To keep pace with other right wing nut jobs and shit bigots, Hannity uses deception, innuendo, half-truths and crap filled conspiracy theories. And just think, when Hillary gets elected, it starts all over again. Bottom line, Hannity represents all that is wrong with Fox “News”.

I was wondering how he was going to try squaring the fact that by giving a Canadian born gop candidate a pass re: eligibility, he essentially admits the entire circus around Obama’s birth certificate was wasn’t about birthright at all. He did the predictable, he dodges and moves on convincing himself that issue’s been dealt with.
